Erin McKenna “BabyCakes” On Martha Stewart (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Videos.

Erin McKenna, the vegan, gluten-free baking domestic diva has posted a series of videos from her stint on Martha Stewart.

Warning: There is a clip of a huge pile of chocolate cupcakes and if you’re refraining from sugar today, it might send you into relapse.

“For the 11 million people who are allergic-they suffer from food allergies-and the 3 million people with Celiac Disease, your bakery is a godsend. And your recipes, too,” Martha told Erin.

But you don’t have to have allergies or food sensitivities to enjoy Erin goodies that have been gobbled up by celebrities like Jason Schwartzman and Zooey Deschanel.

Watch the clip to see Erin talking about the bakery and visit babycakesnyc.com to see three other videos of Erin demonstrating baking with Martha.

We love veggie couples.

That’s why we’re overjoyed to hear that vegan Zooey Deschanel and vegetarian Ben Gibbard are expected to tie the knot this month.

From Page Six:

“A spy at the Bar Method ballet studio in Los Angeles says, “Zooey is in Belfast with James Franco and Natalie Portman” — filming Your Highness — “but will return at the end of September for her ceremony in Seattle.””

With Zooey and her sister Emily being vegan, and both Ben and his Death Cab For Cutie band mate Chris Walla being vegetarian, you know the reception will be filled with abundant veg food and may even be completely vegan.

Vegetarian and vegan weddings may be harder to plan if you have meat eating guests, but that’s no reason to back down. It’s your day, after all!

So if you tuned into Top Chef Masters this week, you know chef Michael Chiarello won the heart and belly of Zooey Deschanel, as well as the week’s winning dish.

Zooey appeared as a guest who had a lot of dietary restrictions-vegan, gluten-free, and no soy.

Chiarello whipped up a Quinoa Spaghetti with Salsa Verde, Gremolata and Tomatoes.

Here’s a video of Chef Chiarello doing his thing.

If you’re interested in making the pasta dish yourself at home, here’s the recipe.

Tis the season for vegan on Top Chef.

Although that dreadful Hardee’s Thickburger commercial star Padma Lakshmi still hangs around cheering for steak, more vegan moments are occurring on the Bravo Network Reality TV series.

We already know vegan actress Natalie Portman will be popping in sometime.

And next week, actress and singer Zooey Deschanel will make an appearance.

The chef contestants will have the challenge of preparing a meal for Zooey and her friends.

Not only must the chefs make a vegan meal, it needs to fit Zooey’s dietary restrictions of gluten-intolerance and no soy.

Watch Zooey send a special message to the chefs, prepping them for the competition.

Ah, sibling rivalry.

We’re sure Emily Deschanel and her little sister, Zooey Deschanel, have nothing but love for each other as adults, but we wonder how the two got along as kids?

Were there pillowfights, accusations of boyfriend stealing, “borrowing” clothes without permission?

The two grew up to be beautiful inside and out, with successful Hollywood careers, a love for animals, and all things vegan.

So between the two sisters, who would you rather…
